Where the silence was never stirred
By u word or message that came To me,

And the ships sailed By with their carsoes

Disappearing In distance ctay;

They hew over the waves away
To the dawn of Il brighter day,

And ny sadness led swift away:
And the sun grew bright DER the distant

And the silver replaced Tho ggay

And thestately ships that had by me rolled

For This one brought all that my heart could
OF pearls and amber and shining gold,
And nothing my life did lack.
And muored 10 there bv the shining beach,

yictimized road, and the question is reiter-
ated by a morning contemporary. A fair
answer to the question might be made thus;
There are as yet great many honest men,
but unless the railroad managers, who have,
for the last twenty-five years been extract
ing large fortunes from the public by dis
honest methods, are curbed in their career
and controlled on the line Of fair dealing,
the day Is not distant many generations
when the honest man will be the exception,
and dishonest men be largely in the ma
jority.
While It is not impossible to raise n girl
In brothel, to life OF virtue and purity,
1t Ia highly improbable; or that q boy reared
with gang OF thieves might result in being
sn honest man and good citizen; yet the
great majority Of American citizens would
rick their last dollar, and at great odds
that he would bo built that way.
Those who occupy the coveted positions
In society are the real educators; whether
they relish the responsibility or not, they
cannot avoid 1t.
Actions speak louder than words. Yol
may deceive yourselves, but you cannot de
| cciye the public. Yes, you may ring you
| chestnut bell, but the fact remains all th
came, its importance is not weakened.

time Of the National Dr.ll next month,
earnest appeals have been made to the Dis.
tiict Commissioners 10y the leading hotel
pIUprletOrs aud other public spirited clt-
lpus Tor relief from the operations OF that
old obnoxious ordinance, passed during
period when our now extensive metropolis
was not more than a large sized country
town, compelling barber shops to be kept
clOstd on Sunday. II the Commissioners
cannot act under the law giving them the
right TO make police regulations, there
seems TO be another course left them, the
legitimacy Of which admits Of no possible
doubt. test case OF the law In question
now being pending in the Court in General
Tenn, 1t seems that the Commissioners
would he clearly justified In instrlctlng the
Police Department not to interfere with tue
BARRIERS until a decision is rendered. II
warrants should be sworn out by mlleyo-
lent persons they might notify the District
Attorney of their intention 10 make use Of
their Constitutional prerogatlves to remit
fines In all cases when Justice and humanity
or the public welfare demand It. Under
these circumstances, OF course, that func-
tloDaty would decline further prosecution.
The Commissioners only reluctantly order
ed the enforcement of the law in the first
place, as Colonel Webb, the president of
The Board, acknowledged to he the highest
authority on District law, expressed serious
doubts OF It's constitutionality and reason
sbleness. II is to he hoped therefore that
action, as above indicated, may yet be
taken. NON PoPuLI.
